Pleasant staff, simple facilities, good location. These sum up my experience at the Mercure Sao Paulo Alamedas. There's a huge variety of restaurant and pubs in the area and being so centrally located it's never too far away from museum, shopping centres and other points of interest. We enjoyed our stay. 8 out of 10 is due to very slow and small (almost claustrophobic) lifts and a shower that would get super hot whilst in use, scalding me a couple of times. Also important to note, no wheelchair access at the entrance with a few steps to reach reception - it didn't affect me, but knowing this might help you. I'd stay there again.

Everything correct except one important topic, the hotel is not soundproffed. I have been in a 3 weeks trip around America using Ibis, Mercure and Pullman hotels in almost all the places and I am surprised that only is well soundproffed the hotel in Lima Miraflores. In your case, your kind staff gave me place at the 17th ground and even there there was noice from the street. I know that my ear is quite good in spite the age but I think all Accor hotels should be ok related to the sounds.

My experience was negative right from the beginning. When I arrived at the hotel there are stairs to enter the lobby and no ramp. I had lots of suitcases and no one from the hotel came to help me with my bags. I had to climb the stairs with all my bags by myself. It was awful. When I entered the lobby, the receptionists took a long time to help me check in and weren’t welcoming. When I got to my room, the floor was very dirty, especially the bathroom floor. There was a lot of men’s hair inside my bathroom and especially inside the shower floor. I would not stay here again.

The hotel is definitely located in the best location in Sao Paulo. You only need to walk to find good restaurants, bakeries, pubs, museums, etc. It's not "noise-free", because nothing is noise-free in SP. The staff is really kind and ready to help, I really enjoyed dealing with them, because they were pretty helpful and kind to me and my team. The low point is the magnet cards for the doors that were presenting issues and also the really small elevators. Nevertheless, I loved it.

Amazingly peaceful location, considering it's only minutes away from Paulista Avenue. Friendly staff, well-proportioned rooms and good breakfast.
